English language and written courses to prepare you for university in the United Kingdom.

My tutoring prepares students in their final years of school who are looking to move to the UK for higher education. The standard for essay writing is very high and students can struggle to communicate their understanding in reflective and analytical ways, in line with UK-based institutions.I would focus on the English writing skills they have and develop these to a university standard.I have studied my undergraduate BA in International Politics at King's College, my MSc in Gender and Social Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science and completed a graduate scheme with Frontline, qualifying as a social worker in 2017. I am well equipped to prepare students moving to the UK and looking to achieve a high academic standard.In preparation for leaving home and alongside the academic development that I focus on, I will be working on communication skills and confidence-building. I have qualified for my first year in systemic family therapy training and use these skills to support young people with new contexts, communication skills and adult, independent environments.

The more detail, the better.Ex. "Hi, when are you available to meet for a lesson?"

I have 3 years (curriculum junior certificate) tutoring experience in maths, physics and chemistry which I have done in Dublin, Ireland beside my Bachelors degree in Nanotechnology and Quantum physics. I do single sessions targeting specific questions and problems beside multiple lessons in preparation for an exam/test (private one-to-one and classroom environment). I have an IELTS score of 8.5/9 and I'm a native dutch speaker. I enjoy helping students achieving good scores on their tests and improving their general understanding of science.

Learning a foreign language is an intellectually-challenging and extremely enjoyable and fulfilling endeavor. It is also increasingly important in today's globalized world of work.
I am a native English speaker, having grown up in Kent, England. I have a diverse experience teaching languages - teaching young Colombian offenders English in Bogotá, teaching English to Colombian students prior to a year abroad, and teaching Spanish to young professionals in London. Throughout all of my teaching, I try to ensure the lessons are ultimately enjoyable (as this is the most effective way to learn!) and tailor the lesson to the individual needs of the students.
Happy to adapt the lessons and style of teaching to the needs and desires of the student; I will be available to teach at the house of my student, at my house, or in a café - wherever is most convenient!
I am studying a postgraduate Masters in International Conflict and Security and will be in Brussels throughout the Summer, the remainder of 2018 and the entirety of 2019.
